Chapter 823: One Is Three (Silver Alliance Leader 15)
In the innermost part of the room on the second floor, half of the floor is closed, and no one is allowed to enter except for a limited number of Soviet experts and Professor Wang. In addition to the key and lock, the last of the three large steel iron doors is a fingerprint lock. If it weren't for his disqualification, Hong Tao would really like to install a bank vault door here, and he wouldn't have too many secrecy measures.
"We also have a monitoring system here?" As soon as Hong Tao entered the last door, he saw a large row of monitors on the left side of the aisle, each of which displayed a different picture, and it was possible to find that those pictures were images of various areas in the real room, including the gate and the door that had just entered, and most of Hong Tao's own head was still on the screen.
"It's the webcam you proposed, those Soviets were idle, and they simply used the intranet to get a surveillance system, which can be regarded as an actual test and a security system. Professor Wang pointed to the small box hanging in the corner of the room, and then walked into the room, where there was a huge safe.
"Is this thing still colored?" Hong Tao ignored Professor Wang, he pulled over a chair, stood up, and then directly removed the camera in the corner of the room from the base, and easily pulled out the power and signal cables behind it.
"There is no technical difference between color and black and white, most of the technology is mature, they just made up a set of interfaces and drivers, and even this device is based on Sony's ready-made products, slightly changed. Professor Wang was not as surprised as Hong Tao, and in his opinion, this webcam was an opportunistic thing. It's not an invention at all, and it's not as good as an optical mouse in terms of technical difficulty.
"It's awesome, it's awesome in this change. A lot of things are sold as an idea, and whoever thinks of it first is whoever's. But this shell is not yet a shell. It's not dustproof or waterproof, you have to find a way to protect the lens, otherwise it won't take a few days to get dirty, and other places are not as clean as in our room. Hong Tao took the camera and looked back and forth, left and right, and was basically satisfied, but there was a little flaw in the industrial design of the shell.
"This is processed in the school factory, and the strange-shaped shells you painted can't be made in the school, and it is too expensive to take them outside to make molds. I figured that you must be going to build a factory like a mouse, so I won't get the shell. When the time comes, let the professionals do it, and you can do whatever you want. Professor Wang is still holding a few small things in his hand, only the size of a cigarette case, which is the real look of the camera.
"Well, yes, it doesn't matter what it looks like! I think we can start applying for a patent, and then focus on improving the interface and driver of this thing, the more compatible the better. In addition, there is another question, can it be made into a USB port? Is the data obtained from the United States still enough?" Hong Tao was not interested in knowing the specific parameters and details of this camera. He just relied on his intuitive impression to judge that the thing that Professor Wang and they had made could enter the final stage of finalized production. The basis is that he has used it in his previous life! Probably just like this, the effect is similar, and this is enough! It is more accurate than any expert's judgment.
"This is the USB port? The coaxial cable above is used to match the graphics card. That's what I'm going to use on my personal computer. Professor Wang looked at Hong Tao in amazement, how could an inventor and overall architect not even understand this thing?
"Hey, I'm so excited, so excited!" Hong Tao rubbed his nose. Although his face was not red at all, he was very flustered. Lu is timid!
"I'm going to get you excited today, see how this goes?" Professor Wang also infected Hong Tao's bad habits. Taking torture as fun, he took it out of his pocket again, and then stretched out his fist in front of Hong Tao and opened it violently.
"Damn, this thing has also come out! I'll take a look, I'll take a look......" Hong Tao's eyes immediately straightened, Professor Wang had two matchbox-sized things in his hands, and the aluminum shell looked the same style as the camera just now, but it already had a rough look like a USB flash drive in later generations, at least much stronger than the thing similar to a mobile hard disk I saw last time.
"This is the USB interface, this is the IEEE1394 interface, I don't understand a little, this USB flash drive is much more technologically backward than the original I disk, why do you have to develop the two together?
"Alas...... This is competition, the two standards are different from the companies, this is jointly made by several large companies in the industry, and this is done by Apple itself. If you're Apple and I'm IBM, do you say do I use your own or my own? Even if I don't use my own, I'll have to find a way to toss you around. Apple's stuff is too unique, good is good, but not popularizing it is equal to nothing. So I got both of them, and I produced whichever one was easy to sell, and they fought and fought and fought hard, and it had nothing to do with me. Hong Tao didn't want to get two things with similar functions, but he couldn't control the situation, and in the computer industry, no one listened to him shouting.
"Americans are also fools, and the country doesn't know how to send people to coordinate and coordinate, isn't it a waste of resources!" Professor Wang felt sorry for the Yankees, and in his opinion, this problem is easy to solve. As long as the government makes a document, let the two companies share technical resources, and then jointly make an IU disk, why fight between companies in their own countries.
"Hey, hey, let them fight, it's good for human brains to beat dog brains. However, these two things can't show up for the time being, let's prepare all the information, and then apply for a patent after the interface standard is officially released. For now, let's focus on this webcam and make it as smaller, higher resolution, and more compatible, and I'm ready to start production right away. Although Hong Tao is very satisfied, it is also a pity that these two gadgets cannot be put into production, and they cannot even apply for patents. The interface standard has not been published yet, and you have even researched the product, which is not very logical.
Hong Tao only stayed in the real room for more than 2 hours, chatted with several experts about the key points of work in the future, asked them about their personal situation, and left. Because he was just a waste in the way when he stayed there, he couldn't help anything, and he couldn't find anyone to play with him, which was very boring. And he can't ask questions, once he is caught by those tenacious researchers, and when he asks questions, he, a fake scientist and inventor, will be exposed.
After leaving the real room, Hong Tao still didn't go home, but made a call to Gu Hongde, and then asked Han Xue to pull him straight to the mouse factory. The second phase of the expansion project was just completed at the end of last year, and the assembly line has increased to 5, and the factory has also looked like it. Hong Tao came just in time for the workers to hand over the shift, because the product sales are very large, at present, each assembly line is 24 hours a day, and the workers of 5 shifts take turns.
"Rare guests, rare guests, it is very happy to have friends from afar...... I don't have any cigars here, so you can make do with tea. Mr. Gu, whose office is on the top floor of the building, said he likes to stand in front of the window and watch the workers go to and from work, which gives him a sense of control.
"You're here to give you some guidance today, donor, you have recently had a rainbow in Yintang, either there is a great joy or a catastrophe, if I don't have some blood, I can turn around and leave! I only give you two chances, hurry up and give me the bribe I like......" Hong Tao sat on Gu Hongde's boss chair, shook his head and began to pretend to be a magic stick.
"Don't say it, I really have something you like, I went to Japan a few days ago, don't you like fishing, I bought you a few fishing rods, right in my house?" Gu Hongde is much older than Hong Tao, but he has a very cheerful personality and is willing to joke.
"Oh, I'm really prepared, Nacheng, for the sake of the donor's more piousness, I won't embarrass you. I'm here today to ask you, do you have any money in your pocket? If you do, hurry up and start the third phase of the project, we have a new product!" Hong Tao is satisfied this time, he has always been his favorite to play things, although a few fishing rods are not expensive, but they just hit his G spot.
"Oh! This is the sun coming out of the west! Last time you came back, you said you weren't in a hurry, why did you suddenly get your head now? What is a new product? The mouse has a third generation? Isn't it a little fast, you have to let me process and reproduce the first and second generation of inventory, right?" Gu Hongde was not happy, but worried. The upgrading of products must conform to certain laws in order to maximize benefits, Gu Hongde is an expert in this regard, and does not want to listen to Hong Tao's blind command.
"That's all you know, just staring at your mouse, see, new, you don't know. Hong Tao lifted his feet to Gu Hongde's table this time, and pointed to the cardboard box on the table with a triumphant look.
"What is this? Camera? You want to produce this? It's not suitable! The technology of this thing is in the hands of the Japanese, even if we have low labor costs, but the patent licensing cost is high, we can't compete with them, right?" Gu Hongde is still very professional, and he can see what is in the box at a glance.
"Technology! Science and technology are productivity! In the past, cameras had to be recorded with video recorders, but I didn't need this, I connected to the computer, you are in New York, I am in San Francisco, we can have face-to-face video chats, of course, we have to rely on the Internet. Hong Tao couldn't show Gu Hongde, because there was no USB port on the current computer motherboard, so he could only describe it in words. (To be continued......) R1292
